📢 Enough Already: Break the Cycles of Abuse in Gaming (Feminist Frequency)
Every time a news story breaks about toxicity and abuse at a high-profile game company, or harassment by someone in a position of power, we see an uptick in calls to the Games and Online Harassment Hotline. Statements and promises are always made, but like clockwork, wait six months and the same problem resurfaces.
